Adobe Express Embed SDK Microsite

We are building a branded microsite that embeds Adobe Express to allow users to customize a predefined template and export their design.



The experience will be used in a kiosk-style environment (iPad + browser), so the UI must be simple, controlled, and resilient.



We are looking for a developer to implement a working MVP, with potential to extend into a production-ready deployment.



Core Experience (What We’re Building)

User flow:

User lands on branded microsite

Clicks “Start” → launches Adobe Express editor with a predefined template

Edits design inside embedded Express experience

A visible countdown timer runs during the session

User clicks “Finish”

System prompts for file name only (single input)

File is exported and automatically uploaded to Dropbox

System resets for next user



Technical Requirements

Frontend

Build a responsive microsite (desktop + iPad Safari)

Implement Adobe Express Embed SDK (v4)

Launch a specific template directly (not template browser)

Embed Express using inline container

Create a branded wrapper UI





Implement

countdown timer (top corner)

start / reset flow

filename input modal (minimal UI)



Handle SDK callbacks:

onLoad

onPublish

onCancel

onError





Backend

Create endpoint to:

receive exported asset from frontend

process file (likely base64/blob)

upload to Dropbox



Dropbox Integration

One of the following approaches (you can recommend):

Option A (Preferred):

Direct upload to our Dropbox via API (OAuth + server-side upload)



Option B:

Use Dropbox Saver if appropriate



Kiosk Behavior

Auto-reset after submission or timeout

Prevent user getting “stuck” in flow

Clean UX for repeated use

Must work reliably on iPad in browser (Safari)



Deliverables

Working microsite (frontend)

Backend API (Node / serverless preferred)

Adobe Express integration fully functional

Dropbox upload working end-to-end

Clean, minimal UI

Basic error handling (network / export failures)

Setup instructions + environment variables documented



Tech Preferences

Frontend: React, Next.js, or simple JS (open to recommendation)

Backend: Node.js (Express / serverless functions)

Hosting: Vercel / AWS / similar

Clean, readable code (this may be extended later)



Experience with:

Adobe Express Embed SDK

iframe-based app embedding

kiosk / event experiences

iPad testing experience

Dropbox API familiarity

Timeline



MVP target:

Fast turnaround preferred



Budget

Open to:

Fixed price (preferred if scoped clearly)

Hourly (with estimate)



To Apply

Please include:

Relevant experience with:
embedded SDKs or iframe apps
file upload / export workflows
Example projects (especially anything interactive or kiosk-style)
Your proposed stack
Estimated timeline and cost
Any questions or suggested improvements to the architecture


Notes

This is not a generic website build — requires integration thinking
We value clean UX and reliability over visual complexity
Opportunity for follow-on work (admin controls, analytics, multi-template support)
